Transtar and Challenge mixer! What a year this is going to be? I guess I'll keep my old Transtars for nostalgia and build the new, better ones! I've never had a Challenge mixer, looking forward to it!

Just happened to me, to. I buy direct to avoid the wrinkling

No pics, but I removed the undercut. At this point there's no reason this couldn't be cast. Working for Mr. Hettick at the moment, but I'll get back to this project.

Michigan/Ohio Border? Who do you root for in college football?

Thank you, I appreciate the offer!

Looking forward to seeing it in paint!

A word of caution: If any recessed areas of the wheel cover need to be painted black, you have to exaggerate the depth, and possibly width, of those areas. A wheel cover drawn to scale will have those areas too shallow to paint, and they'll fill with the plating process.

It is hard. That's partly why I cast parts, if I screw it up, I try again. The first pic are parts for the Montego, the other is various other grille masters.

Yes, but I had to assemble the sections. When the holes are that small, I have a real problem with bubbles in the mold forming in the cavities. I don't have a vacuum or pressure pot, so I can only do simple one-piece molds. I did the center eggcrate section for a '73 Chevy pickup grille, but the spaces on that one were larger than the Montego grille. The '73 Camaro grille I was able to do in one piece. All of the grille patterns were created using evergreen/plastruct strips.

Yeah, I decided to live with it so builders might use the Revell Torino windshield.

Hopefully you can own another in 2021.

I started with the Revell Torino. The idea was, if I made a low-line Montego, the builder could use the interior right out of the Torino kit. I scaled the grille and headlights, and arranged the front end to get them to fit.I cut the front wheel wells out of a second Torino and used them for the rear wheel wells. I made the wheel well flares larger. I still need to do the back end, I'm waiting on some strip styrene to be delivered.

I made a master for the grille pattern. I couldn't find stock with the right size rectangles. I also made a '73 grille for the new full-bumper Camaro kit.

I really hadn't intended to cast it, as some parts would be difficult to cast, but if there's that much interest, I could re-engineer certain things to make it castable. The one thing required of the buyer is to narrow the chassis a bit. While I was modifying the body, I went ahead and kinked the bottom of the body in some more. The Revell Torino doesn't roll under enough at the body bottom. (JoHan's does).
